Production

On 23 May 2021, ABC News reported that Spacey and Vanessa Redgrave, Nero's wife, would star in the film and that it would soon be shot in Italy. On casting Spacey, Nero told the outlet, "I'm very happy Kevin agreed to participate in my film. I consider him a great actor and I can't wait to start the movie."[6] Later that day, producer Louis Nero told Variety that Spacey and Redgrave's roles are small, while the main character is played by Franco Nero, and that Redgrave's appearance was not finalised but would depend on whether she could travel from England to Italy.[3] On 26 May, Redgrave announced that she had turned down the role.[7] On 7 July 2021, Variety reported that Redgrave had been replaced by Dunaway and that the film was being sold at the Cannes Marché du Film. It quoted Louis Nero as saying, "We have plenty of interest from buyers around the world. All the controversy around the film has generated plenty of interest ... It was good for the film, from my point of view."[4] It was reported that the film involves the protagonist wrongly accused of sexually abusing a child,[4][8] but Louis Nero told Entertainment Weekly that the film "does not involve pedophilia".[2]

Filming took place from 28 May to 3 July 2021 in Turin.[5][9]
